East Asian Painting, Poetry and Calligraphy

In East Asian painting, poetry and calligraphy are often referred to as the `three jewels` for the high respect that they are given, and the way that they interact. A poet, using brush and ink on paper, may add a design to his words, and in that moment the three arts become one. Students will have the opportunity to try their own hand at these arts, so historical study will be balanced by creative work.
